Divine Emperor of Death

Once Ancestor Dian Alstreim thought of the effects of nectar boasted by that person with a greedy and lustful expression on his face, he couldn't help but sigh.

"... What are the effects of the nectar, Ancestor?" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim hesitatingly spoke, not sure if he would obtain the answer.

"I don't know if it's true, but that person said that the powerhouse who annihilated the Million Emerald Vines Calamity was a Peak-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse with a Low-Level Martial Overlord Stage Cultivation. It seemed that after consuming the entirety of the nectar, that powerhouse's Low-Level Martial Overlord Stage Cultivation experienced a smooth increase in Body Tempering Cultivation that the powerhouse entered the Peak-Level Martial Overlord Stage in a mere few months!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression clearly fluctuated like a boat sailing through the sea's violent waves.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim became stunned and looked as if he lost his soul while Havle Alstreim almost had his eye sockets bulge out.

Martial Overlord Stage is the Ninth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation! Just there martial pressure alone would be enough to crush countless experts who dared to stand against them!

A nectar that is capable of making a Low-Level Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouse into a Peak-Level Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouse in a mere few months?

What kind of concept was this?

A single breakthrough in the Ninth Stage required decades and centuries! But to breakthrough from Low-Level Ninth Stage to Peak-Level Ninth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation in a few months...

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's expression contorted into one of greediness, "We must obtain this nectar no matter what!"

Havle Alstreim felt his scalp tingling! If the Alstreim Family obtained the nectar, he would become ecstatic! However, to fight the Conferred Queen's Protector? He didn't know what to feel anymore other than a deep sense of pressure stemming from the soul.

He didn't want such a development to occur as he had immensely worked to develop an amicable relationship with the Conferred Queen's party.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim let out a derisive chuckle before he nodded his head.

"Send word to the Grand Elders and Elders! Anyone in the Alstreim Family who goes to disturb the Conferred Queen will face my wrath!"

Grand Elder Valdrey heartily laughed and nodded his head before his expression froze. He blinked and couldn't help but ask once again as he felt the need to be sure of what he heard, "Ancestor?"

"That's right! Send word to the Grand Elders and Elders that they are not to disturb the Conferred Queen or her protector." Ancestor Dian Alstreim repeated these words with an imposing voice!

"Do you understand?"

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's expression became absolutely dumbfounded. His lips couldn't help but tremble, "Why?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes as he stared at Grand Elder Valdrey for a few seconds before he let out a disappointed sigh, "Do you really think that we should offend an expert of that caliber for the nectar from a mere Mid-Level Eighth Stage Million- It's not even a million but a hundred thousand vines calamity that has not grown into the Million Emerald Vines Calamity..."

"Is it even worth to aggravate the Conferred Queen's background into our small Territory?"

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim looked as if he received an epiphany. His expression changed into possessing ounces of self-blame and regret.

"Valdrey knows his wrong and regrets being momentarily blinded by greed!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim satisfactorily nodded his head, but he then heard Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim speak again.

"Instead of adopting an aggressive approach, we can try to negotiate with the Conferred Queen's Protector to have him hand over at least a portion of the nectar..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's pale lips widened into a smile before he looked at Havle Alstreim, "What do you think?"

Havle Alstreim became stunned as he remained stiff. Was his opinion being asked?

His opinion and not the Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's opinion?

Havle Alstreim felt the world tumbling in front of him!

Once he came out of his reverie, he couldn't help but look towards the sides to find if someone else had arrived when he hadn't noticed, but recognizing that no one was here except Grand Elder Valdrey, he gulped.

"Is Ancestor asking me of my opinion?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but chuckle sagely, "Little Havle... Only you have interacted with the Conferred Queen's Protector. So what do you think will happen if we engage in negotiations with the Conferred Queen's Protector for the nectar?

Havle Alstreim became dazed before he really thought about the question.

Time passed, at least a minute, but no one disturbed him as he thought.

Once Havle Alstreim gathered his thoughts, he inclined his head and opened his mouth, "Ancestor, we'll likely fail, miserably!"

"Oh~" Ancestor Dian Alstreim smiled as his lips moved, "Why?"

Havle Alstreim took a deep breath as he calmed down. He just realized that he let out a self-deprecating and self-degrading comment about the family in ancestor's presence, which can be met with stringent punishment.

However, looking at his ancestor basically telling him to continue, he gathered his courage and spoke, "It is well known that the Conferred Queen Isabella trains her Body Tempering Cultivation System as her main cultivation system. At present, as far as we know, the Conferred Queen has reached the High-Level Martial Master Stage despite being younger than two hundred years old."

"The Conferred Queen's Protector has obtained the nectar and judging by how senior personally visited the Sunset Tear Mountain; it is possible that senior knew such an existence was there beforehand, possibly from the Imperial Protectors of the Ethren Empire he had enslaved."

"If so, then even without bothering to conceal this matter, senior openly came to hunt this plant lifeform for the sake of his Young Mistress. There is no way that senior would share something that can increase a person's Body Tempering Cultivation, especially when it is incredibly useful for senior's Young Mistress, Conferred Queen Isabella."

"That's why I think we'll be inadvertently offending the Conferred Queen's Protector the moment we try to negotiate about the nectar, which will negatively affect us."

Havle Alstreim gave his opinion and became silent. He didn't dare say anything else, afraid that he might offend the Ancestor.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim chuckled in appreciation before he cast a glance at the Grand Elder.

"There you have it..."

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim possessed a complex expression on his face as he looked at Havle Alstreim. He didn't think that this person was capable of such thoughts, to consider the consequences and the safety of the family while also not being clouded by greed.

He just didn't know that Havle Alstreim possessed deep respect for the Conferred Queen's Protector and feared his techniques to not be clouded by greed.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim let out a sigh as he still couldn't let go, "Ancestor, at least, the nectar will help us in the birth of a Martial Sage Expert. Are we just going to abandon it like this?"

"Are you implying that we should risk offending Conferred Queen's background for a mere Low-Level Emperor Grade Treasure that is only hypothesized to have high potency?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim lazily asked.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim could only shut up. He didn't want to speak as it would only be detrimental to him in front of the ancestor. No matter what he said, it would be met with conjectures and misgivings.

"Not to mention that we don't possess an Emperor Grade Body Tempering Cultivation Manual, and even I am stuck in the Peak-Level Martial Master Stage for more than ten thousand years. Do you think I don't covet the nectar? Do you think that I don't want it to help the family rise in power?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's eyes turned cold.

"Grand Elder Valdrey, I am deeply disappointed with your thoughts, and not to mention your abuse of power..."

"Ancestor!?" Grand Elder Valdrey became shocked. A chill instantly crept on his back on hearing those words!
